This script automates the most laborious part of [STL][] to [OpenSCAD][] script conversion.

Details

[OpenSCAD][] is able to [import][cheatsheet] object from [STL][] files, however this capability [is not preserved][limitations] in [thingiverse.com][] [Customizer][]. As a result of this many [OpenSCAD][] scripts can't be used directly from [thingiverse.com][]. However you are allowed to [inline][limitations] [STL][] model, include it in your [OpenSCAD][] script and then upload it to [thingiverse.com][].

The steps:

• get your STL file and open it in OpenSCAD
• select File > Export > Export to OFF...

Hacking LAV Splitter to use plain old buffering

LAV Splitter is used to fetch network data in some media players (e.g. MPC-HC). The LAV buffer (aka packets queue) is not measured in data volume, but rather in packets (or frames, not sure here). Anyway, since the network throughput is limited by data volume, the number of packets in queue is multiplied by factor variable, which is bigger the higher quality video you are playing. This provides variable length buffer, however you can't really control the size and if you got slow WiFi you might have experienced choppy playback.

The following guide changes the way LAV buffer works by eliminating packet limits and putting the infamous "Maximum Queue Memory" settings in charge (you might have tried to increase this settings from default 256 MB to no avail as many have before you).

###32-bit instructions

1. Open the mpc-hc/LAVFilters/LAVSplitter.ax file in [HEX editor][hxd] of your choice.

Portable Microsoft RDP 7 Client

• Get the RDP 7 update for Windows XP from KB969084 (SHA-1 153587172bf060ddc9d2c966f1eaaf4f47926f28).
• Rename the .\WindowsXP-KB969084-x86-enu.exe to zip.
• Extract the .\WindowsXP-KB969084-x86-enu.zip\sp3gdr\ directory.

The unpacked RDP 7 client is sort of portable (the binaries are, settings are not) and will run on Windows XP and latter.
